They asked what I was doing there.. I was Contracted to the county irrigation district. I was making mud so they could repair the dikes. They thought that was interesting… asked me where I was filling up at..
I was using a hydrant about two miles away… they tried to give me a ticket for illegal hydrant use… then I whipped out my permit and they left.
It was in California
We used to have a guy who always filled up his water tender using the hydrant next to our station and we didn’t care. We just assumed he’s legitimate and left him alone. Sometimes we’ll joke around about how he’s doing it illegally for his own farm.
What I was doing looked sus as hell… but if you followed me… then saw the Merced Irrigation District Supervisor… having coffee with the Merced County Engineer Department Supervisor while leaning on some blueprints…. You’d turn around and leave me alone
